I agree, and my comment was a joke.

I don't see what's wrong with asking bus/truck diesel drivers to turn their engines off if they're going to sit for more than 5 minutes, if you're within the metro (downtown) area. They're loud and they put out a lot of stinky fumes when sitting in one place.

You really a taxi driver or is that a joke?
